Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne From the Start!

Chapter 443 Dragon Roar: Long Live King Yan!

Chen Shou cupped his fists and said with a smile: "My child secretly created a bridge and hired an elephant cavalry consisting of a thousand elephants from the Ava Dynasty for the Luzon Dynasty. According to the small number of elephants we encountered during the attack on the Malacca Dynasty, The experience of the cavalry, the power of the fire blunderbuss, the target cavalry will have little damage, a thousand elephant cavalry, accompanied by infantry, as long as they rush into the array of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty..."

The more Chen Shou talked, the more excited he became, dancing and making famous gestures. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

If Zhu Di were here right now, he would definitely take a high look at this person.

The infantry is accompanied by the thick-skinned elephant cavalry in attacking. Isn't this a coordinated effort between infantry and tanks?

However, Zhu Di didn't know at this moment that Chen Chao, headed by Chen Shou, had worked so hard to dig a hole for him.

Chen Zuyi listened carefully, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.

The infantry was accompanied by elephant cavalry, which covered the infantry, which he encountered when attacking the Malacca dynasty.

The opponent's elephant cavalry suddenly came out of the dense forest where the battle was taking place, almost causing him to stumble.

In other words, the Malacca Dynasty itself did not produce elephants, and the elephant cavalry was purchased from the Ava Dynasty with a large sum of money.

The small number of elephant cavalry ultimately failed to affect the overall situation.

At best, it just instantly defeated an Xie's flank.

But this time, in order to stifle the rise of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son set up a bridge and hired a thousand elephant cavalry for King Lagan of Luzon!

"Father, we have to admit the ability of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty. The art of war in the Central Plains is definitely the best in the world today, even in the next thousand years. But these barbarian lands also have their own specialties, such as this elephant cavalry. This has never happened in the history of war in the Central Plains. I believe that a thousand elephant cavalry, accompanied by infantry, will definitely defeat the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and curb his rise! "

Chen Zuyi nodded, groping lightly with his fingers for the homemade jade seal, "Now the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty are said to have fallen out. It is impossible to get the support of the Ming Dynasty in the future. As long as we can give the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty a severe blow in a war, Let him curl up and lick his wounds, and we will have a chance to seize Luzon and the South China Sea before the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty..."

Chen Shou was slightly surprised, "Father, how did you know about this?"

Since Yan Fan's navy has become larger and larger, they have been unable to enter the South China Sea.

Traders could only quietly pass through the Ava Dynasty and obtain a small amount of high-quality products from Yunnan.

Most of the goods sold to the far west are in the name of the Central Plains.

In fact, they all come from Champa and the Southern Dynasties.

This place calls itself Little China.

Although the workmanship of textiles and silk is very poor.

But those bumpkins in the far west can't stand it, they don't know how to tell the difference at all.

Of course, because of poor workmanship, they earn less profit.

How could he receive news from Daming when he couldn't even get close to him?

Chen Zuyi smiled jokingly, picked up a letter placed on the imperial desk, and handed it to Chen Shou: "This is a letter given to your father by a small businessman who claimed to have come to us from Fujian during your stay in Luzon. A letter…”

Quick reading by Chen Shou.

The letter introduced it clearly and unmistakably.

There was a big shot in the Ming Dynasty who did not want to see the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty grow infinitely.

As long as the Chen family can limit the growth of the power of the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty.

In the future, when the time is right, the Ming Dynasty can reach a comprehensive trade agreement with the Chen Dynasty and support the Chen Dynasty's economy through trade!

Chen Shou's face was filled with astonishment. He suppressed his excitement and said with a trembling voice: "Father, is this a letter from the Prince of Ming Dynasty to his father?"

He really couldn't think of it.

Who within the Ming Dynasty has such great ability.

Promise that when the time is right in the future, the Ming Dynasty can reach a comprehensive trade agreement with the Chen Dynasty!

This made it clear that the Yan family of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to dominate and monopolize the interests of maritime trade.

The other party may even want to use them to replace the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Fan!

Chen Zuyi stood up, smiled easily, shook his head and said: "I don't know who the other party is, but the person from the other party has stayed with us, and has established an office secretly under the name of a businessman. Remember, no one except you and me, father and son, can do this. Don't mention it to anyone. The other party reminded us that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty had most likely established a very large system similar to the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei. The other party claimed that the brother-in-law whom the Ming Prince wanted to protect was most likely the Ming Dynasty prince. The Fourth Prince’s Jinyiwei System Political Assassination!”

No matter who this person is.

He was very sure that this person must have great influence within Ming Dynasty.

It is very possible that he has the ability to influence the direction of the current situation.

"From the time when the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty killed the brother-in-law of the prince of Ming Dynasty through political assassination, this was a watershed, a watershed for the estrangement between the prince of Ming Dynasty and the brothers of the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty!"

The slap from the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty was quite severe.

The dignified crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is the one I want to protect.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was bold enough to engage in political assassination!

Enough to see.

The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty is definitely no longer as supportive of his elder brother as the rumors say in the past.

Although the visitors always cursed and belittled the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, how arrogant, domineering and ambitious he was.

But this kind of words.

He doesn't believe it!

For such a capable prince, as long as he worked hard and used some tricks, he might be able to move to Ming Taizi and take control of the Ming Dynasty.

But he is such a person.

But did not do so.

Instead, he took his wife and children out to sea and started his struggle from scratch on these four seas.

Although he is also a successor.

The Chen family just flourished in his hands.

But being in this foreign country, he was all too aware of the dangers involved.

A bad decision.

His wife, children, and children may all die at the hands of foreign barbarians.

Here, there is no reliance and no network of connections.

Everything must be strong enough on your own.

A royal family that could have been pampered and prosperous has traveled all over the world. It is impossible for the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty to be as ambitious and rebellious as the 'businessman' said.

On the contrary, good enough for mentaiko!

Prince Ming must have done something to completely hurt the fourth prince Ming.

"So, my father is very sure that in the future, once the Ming Prince succeeds to the throne, there will definitely be a big war between the Yan Fan of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty of the Ming Prince Zhu Biao!"

When the time comes, it will be their chance.

The Ming Dynasty took the lead in banning the power of the fourth princes of the Ming Dynasty and the power of maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty.

Drain its finances!

He cooperated with Ming Dynasty and killed the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty across the world!

"Look, maybe the prince of Ming Dynasty, or someone else, has already reached out to us and started to make arrangements in advance. Do you think the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty didn't see it? Not long after he came back from helping Ming Dynasty to fight, he expanded the number of four hybrids. He wanted to attack Luzon non-stop. His father concluded that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty also had a premonition that once his father Zhu Yuanzhang and his mother Queen Ma Xiuying were gone, his relationship with the Ming Dynasty would definitely take a turn for the worse. He wanted to take advantage of this rare strategy During the window period, we should try our best to strengthen ourselves and get rid of economic and demographic dependence on Ming Dynasty.”

"Let's see, the future will be even more exciting!"

Chen Shou smiled, then frowned and asked, "Father, if we are really the Ming Prince, will the Ming Prince allow us to call ourselves emperors in the future?"

"Isn't it just a name?" Chen Zuyi smiled and waved his hand, "If he is really the Ming prince, my father is willing to demotion himself as king and become a vassal to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he will join forces to kill the fourth Ming prince Yan Fan, and Dongfan can be given to the Ming Dynasty. , we only want Luzon!”

Emperors of the Central Plains have always wanted to save face.

Give the other person enough face.

Even actual interests in Luzon can be transferred.

He only wants to know the skills of the fourth prince!

With these technologies, he could conquer a wider territory to the west.

"Father, since the other party wants to cooperate with us, and we also need to test the other party's energy, can we get the Yanfan rifle and artillery casting technology from the other party? Our speed of using iron coiled gun barrels is too slow. Already..."

In just a few years, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was able to arm a reorganized town and five mixed associations.

Its technology is definitely more advanced than theirs!

Chen Zuyi said thoughtfully, "Maybe we can try it."

As the eldest son said, through this matter, we can also test who the other party is and how powerful he is in Ming Dynasty.

After the matter was settled.

Chen Shou turned to ask: "Father, the retainers and elders still don't agree to the establishment of rural village societies?"

The smile on Chen Zuyi's face disappeared, showing irritability.

Nod.

Then he said firmly: "No matter what, we must build rural communities. We, father and son, both know that we are a minority of outsiders. If we want to use less to defeat more, there are only two ways. People like us, father and son, who have mastered civilization, will attack barbarians." I succumbed to ignorance and became a native of this place by marrying the native people here, changing my bloodline, and changing my customs.”

But this method is too limited.

He was not willing to be just the king of Malacca.

In little Malacca, he calls himself the emperor and calls himself a loner.

He has been familiar with books from the Central Plains since he was a child, and he knows very well that in the eyes of scholars in the Central Plains, this kind of behavior is the same as wearing a dragon robe when singing, or wearing a crown while wearing a monkey!

Transform yourself into a Malaccan.

How to use Malacca people to conquer and make other ethnic groups convinced of him?

"Although we and the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty are irreconcilable enemies, my father admires this man from the bottom of his heart. This man has surpassed all the emperors of the Central Plains by relying on his concept of rural communities and creating small economies. Yes, this concept provides two foundations for the expansion of a dynasty, one is a strong economic foundation, and the other is a popular foundation for external expansion..."

However, he did not expect that it would be so difficult to implement.

I won’t go into the entire concept of the joint-employment-share system in rural villages and communes.

He had already compromised with his retainers and elders, promising to implement only rural village communes and not to establish a system of employee-employed shares.

They promised that once the rural village community was established, the output would be greatly increased and the retainers and elders would be allowed to monopolize trade, but these people still refused to agree.

Worried that he or his descendants would break the promise.

Chen Shou clenched his fists slightly, murderous intent flowing in his eyes.

He suddenly suggested: "Father, why don't you promise your retainers and elders that as long as they agree to establish rural village societies, not only will they be allowed to monopolize trade, but in the future, after they join forces with the Ming prince to annihilate the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Fan, we will divide Luzon and reward them..."

"Once the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty disappears, if we occupy Luzon, it is very likely that we will have trouble with the Ming Dynasty, or arouse the suspicion of the Ming Dynasty. The future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is the current Ming Prince, can canonize us retainers and elders in the Ming Dynasty. Luzon is king, and the existence of Luzon, a special region, can also ease our future relationship with the Ming Dynasty. More importantly, it can be exchanged for their agreement to establish rural village societies. In the process of establishing rural village societies, we will reorganize and finally The army that is loyal to our Chen family!”

Now their Chen Dynasty has 100,000 soldiers and horses.

But at least 60% of them are controlled by retainers and elders.

Even in the new army he organized and trained, many of the family's children were stuffed into it by the retainers and elders.

That's why.

As a result, this group of people dared to quarrel with their father, who was blushing and thick-necked.

"To a certain extent, the current situation of our Chen Dynasty is very similar to that of Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty when he proclaimed himself emperor. As long as we give out gifts to these old people in the future, it will not be too late for us to establish a labor-employed shareholding system!"

The study fell into silence.

Chen Zuyi deduced and pondered carefully.

Ha ha……

At a certain moment, he laughed heartily, turned around and came to Chen Shou, "Yes, the situation of our father and son is very similar to that of Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty when he proclaimed himself emperor. We, the father and his son, competed with Emperor Zhu and Prince Ming of the Ming Dynasty to see who could do it first. Really implement the concept of the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty!”

As for the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty?

This person's talents are as high as the sky.

But precisely because of this, many people want him dead.

He must die too!

This is God’s jealous talent!

He had reason to believe that as long as the Ming prince ascended the throne, the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty could crush the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty to death even at the cost of human lives.

Zhu Di, what a pity...

Throughout history, there are many such figures who are a pity for future generations.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!

Three poles in the sun.

Zhu Di received a report from the army camp and all preparations for the inspection were completed.

If it were just a simple review, with the speed of mobilization of the Yanfan army, it would not be delayed until now.

The main reason is that the review is over and tens of thousands of troops are about to leave.

There are many things to do before departure.

The palace.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun sleep in the palace.

Xu Miaoyun carefully helped Zhu Di sort out his brand new military uniforms. He had sorted them out several times. While sorting them out, he warned: "Don't worry about us. Although there is only one battalion of soldiers left, we have coastal defense artillery on Jilong Island, and the people's mobilization force is also strong." It’s very high, and besides the fact that the imperial court has the ability to attack Jilong Island, there are no other forces that can get close to our Jilong Island..."

Originally, Shiro was planning to leave half of Hunchengxie for Jilong Island.

But when she learned that Jinyiwei had reported that Luzon had assembled 189,000 soldiers and horses, she worked hard to get Shiro to leave only one battalion.

The only force that can attack Dongfan now is probably the imperial court.

As long as my father is alive, this kind of thing can't happen.

As for Chen Chao?

Troops gathered in the South China Sea.

Chen Chao dared to sneak attack on Jilong Island?

In fact, Shiro knows all these.

Shiro was just worried that the army would leave and something would happen internally.

After all, during this time, nearly 100,000 Mongolians have migrated one after another.

Shiro was a little worried about this.

After all, I am still too worried about them.

"You are fighting outside, so you must take good care of yourself and don't be too stressed. We still have time..."

Zhu Di held Xu Miaoyun's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I spend a lot on clothes. I couldn't find the reason before, but now I find it. It's you who cleans up the wear and tear for me over and over again."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and stared.

outside world.

Even the brothers around him thought that Shiro came back from the Ming Dynasty and non-stop expanded the four mixed associations, and then launched a conquest of Luzon to promote the ideal military action.

He simply showed his fangs to the court.

But only the couple knew.

This is nothing more than passing by.

Shiro is so anxious to prepare for the future.

Once the father is gone, the eldest brother will take the throne.

Their relationship with the Ming Dynasty is unpredictable. It is very likely that they will take a turn for the worse and face military pressure and economic blockade from the Ming Dynasty!

Shiro was never afraid of military pressure.

But economic blockades are extremely deadly.

If the rule of Luzon cannot be completed as soon as possible, Luzon's human and material resources will be developed.

Once it is subject to a comprehensive economic blockade from Ming Dynasty.

Relying only on Dongfan's population of more than 200,000 and a small territory, the war potential will inevitably become weaker and weaker.

Shiro was racing for time.

In fact, it can be completely arranged within Daming.

Once the Ming Dynasty imposes an economic blockade and military pressure on them, it will cause chaos within the Ming Dynasty and constrain the big brother.

But Shiro was unwilling to do this.

She didn't want to either.

No matter how you say it, the Central Plains is your hometown and the place where they were raised.

They grew up breathing the air of the Central Plains, drinking the water of the Central Plains, eating the rice of the Central Plains, and reading the wisdom of the sages of the Central Plains.

No one can do such a thing.

If you do something like this, you will have to live with guilt for the rest of your life.

Shiro did not place chess pieces inside the Ming Dynasty.

If we talk about arrangements, it is just to leave a piece of political wealth to the heroes and protect them comprehensively.

This is the demonstration area.

Brother Zhang, Brother Qiu, and Brother Zhu were not only worried about taking them out to sea and irritating some people in the court, but they actually asked the three brothers to stay to assist and support Xiongying.

Other plans for Daming are the negotiations that Shiro wants to have with Daming.

But those in the court who hated Shiro endured it.

They hoped that Shiro would fail in his conquest of Luzon, or even return defeated, so they were willing to start negotiations while Shiro was in a passive situation.

In fact, if the eldest brother intends to make up for Shiro.

I could have taken action at this time.

The eldest brother would definitely be more effective than his father in persuading the members of the prince family who hated Shiro.

But for such a long time, the eldest brother didn't say anything.

Of course, the father can push it forcefully. The father also mentioned this matter when he and Shiro were talking alone.

But Shiro refused.

This time, Shiro mainly wanted his eldest brother to negotiate with Yan Fan.

Only the negotiation contract signed by the eldest brother himself can have a certain impact on the future.

If it were my father.

We are about to face the dilemma of people taking political interest.

But the elder brother’s silence is chilling!

Of course, the eldest brother is right. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, it is his responsibility to fight for the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

"Shiro, when you come back, I will give birth to a little cotton-padded jacket for you, just one, and then I will be obedient, okay?"

"Okay!" Zhu Di smiled, pinched Xu Miaoyun's cheeks, and joked: "It's still as soft as the first morning when we got married."

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but think of what Zhu Di said that morning.

The first morning of the wedding ceremony for two people.

Shiro was chopping firewood, feeding the horses, and sweeping the yard in the courtyard.

She was cooking, and when she came out to hold firewood, Shiro pinched her face. She quickly walked into the house shyly, and the bad guy even whispered: Why didn't he notice last night that he was so soft and flexible?

Have been married for nine years.

Looking back on bits and pieces of the past, it seems as clear as if it happened yesterday.

In fact, she really hoped to live like that all the time.

Shiro wouldn't have so much pressure.

I won’t have nightmares again and again.

However, personal destiny is often not under the control of the individual. It is carried forward by the torrent of power and the times.

The situation turned to Shiro.

Make them a couple.

Make them a family of five.

It pushed their group to its current situation.

Shiro could no longer retreat.

Taking half a step back is not just their little family.

So many brothers who follow them and are loyal and courageous will suffer because of them.

When Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun came from the dormitory to the outer house of the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others have arrived.

Several young and naughty brothers kept pretending to be curious and asked jokingly: Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, what are you doing to make everyone wait for so long.

It made a group of people laugh.

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang spoke that the family's laughter stopped.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di and said, "Let's go."

Zhu Di still had the same smile on his face.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The group of people walked out of the palace, and all the officials who had been waiting outside the palace saluted.

"no."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually, and immediately everyone rushed to the review point.

The review was not held inside the army camp.

Instead, it is a wide area at the dock.

The people in the bay had already gathered not far from the reviewing stand.

There were excited discussions.

"Our Yan Fan is finally going to expand outward."

"Isn't that right? I heard that as long as Luzon is conquered, our prince will be able to establish a country in a short time!"

"In other words, from now on, we are the people of Yan State, not the people of Ming Dynasty?"

"Old Zhang, do you want to be a citizen of the Yan Kingdom or the Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course they are the people of Yan!"

"I heard from the gossip that in the future our hair accessories will have to change, and the changes will be huge."

"Here he comes! The prince is here!"

Someone shouted excitedly, and everyone looked in the direction of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang came together with a group of people.

One after another they boarded the reviewing stand.

Long live His Majesty Shanhu and a thousand years later, the people, under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, stood up one after another and stared at Zhu Dishi quietly with their eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di looking at him and said with a smile: "This is your rule. Do whatever you have to do."

Zhu Di nodded with a smile, stepped forward, and walked steadily to the edge of the reviewing stand.

Opposite.

Countless people and businessmen looked at him eagerly with excitement in their eyes.

This is trust!

He is proud that so many people follow him, but he also knows that he has to be responsible for these followers.

Take a deep breath.

A cheerful voice sounded, "Everyone knows that our Yan Fan is going to use troops abroad. During this period, the voice I heard the most is that everyone is talking about how our Yan Fan will expand abroad. How good will our life be in the future? How to be glorious..."

"As a member of the Yan Fan, everyone takes the Yan Fan as an honor. This is my honor, Zhu Di, and the honor of all the officials and generals of the Yan Fan."

"But here, I want to explain to the farmers, hired workers, scholars, civil servants, generals, and soldiers under the rule of Yan Fan that our use of troops by Yan Fan is not for aggression and expansion. We are not to enslave others. Like the many hardworking people here, Ordinary people who work hard and create history, we are here to defeat the Luzon Dynasty, a small group of people who enslaved and exploited the people of Luzon, and brought our Central Plains civilization, Yanfan's rural village communities, and the wage-worker stock system to benefit A system for everyone, bring it in and benefit all the ordinary people who work hard to create and promote history!

Now, we must not treat these ordinary people in a condescending manner.

In the future, we will ride on the advanced sea ships built by Yan Fan to travel to Luzon and Dongfan to do business and settle down, and we must not be arrogant.

The people gradually turned from suspicion to seriousness.

The merchants, scholars, and civil servants who followed Yan Fan were thoughtful.

They have vaguely realized that the prince is setting a certain tone and rules!

"When we have the noble intention of saving and helping others, we will definitely gain more while giving. I believe that every farmer in the rural community and every hired worker under the shareholding system have deeply realized that our individual strength is very weak, but when we gather together, we can not only live a good life, but also create the future and history!"

"History is created by thousands of hard-working workers, not a few elites!"

The philosophical thoughts of the sages are indeed written by the sages.

But these sage books are also based on comprehensive observations of society, analyzed, demonstrated, extended and summarized.

And society is composed of countless hard-working farmers, craftsmen, scholars, officials, soldiers, and merchants.

Without these, the sages could not write profound thoughts and philosophies.

At the same time, those who can write such profound thoughts and philosophies.

They are actually working hard.

"So, it's not that I bring benefits to everyone, I bring a good life to everyone, it's that we work together, hold kindness together, and struggle together..."

"A good life, glory, belongs to every hard-working person under the rule of Yan Fan, whether it's farmers, craftsmen, hired workers, officials, or soldiers!"

"Glory belongs to us!"

"Long live the King of Yan!"

When Zhu Di's voice fell, the whole Jilong Island was boiling instantly, and the sound of long live the king was like a dragon roar, rising to the sky.

Zhu Di was startled.

Hearing this long-lasting long live, he frowned slightly, and was a little worried at the same time.

My old man is still standing by my side!

The people are simple.

They have a scale for who is good to them.

However, he said this not for the people's long live.

He just set a tone for everyone.

These words about the ideals in the army have been thoroughly explained.

But for the people, this is the first time to say it in a solemn occasion, and it must be said.

The customs of the people must be consistent with those of the army.

Otherwise, even if the army is relatively closed, it will inevitably be influenced by the people.

If the Yan vassal state treats the use of troops abroad as a simple expansion, something will definitely happen in the future.

...

However, at this time, he did not bother to explain to his father.

The sound of brothers leaving the camp has been heard.

"One, two, one!"

...

With the command, the first regiment of the army came first.

Rows of soldiers, carrying muskets with muskets and swords on their backs, walked in neat steps. The muskets and swords were refracted by the sun, sweeping up patches of cold white light.

The soldiers of the artillery camp pulled the war horses and pulled the yellow and orange artillery mounted on the artillery carriages.

"Goose step!"

Tan Yuan drew out his command sword and shouted.

Ta-ta-ta...

The soldiers instantly changed to goose step.

"Hold the gun and salute!"

Thirteen thousand soldiers followed Tan Yuan, saluting with the gun, slightly tilting their heads towards the reviewing stand, and saluting Zhu Di.

The people's excitement, which had just subsided, boiled again.

"Long live the Yan vassal!"

"Long live the Yan vassal!"

...

"Martial brilliance shines!" Tan Yuan shouted in response.

"Martial brilliance shines!"

...

The people shouted long live the Yan vassal.

Starting from the first regiment of the army, one square formation after another, shouting "Martial brilliance shines", passed the reviewing stand.

The review continued.

The soldiers who had passed the review in front had already started to board the ship silently. Teams of soldiers carrying marching bags, with resolute faces, lined up to board the ship.

Ship after ship full of soldiers evacuated the dock in an orderly manner, making room for the next warship or merchant ship to approach.

Liu Sheng, the commander of the Fifth Mixed Brigade, marched in front of the reviewing stand, marching in a gun-holding salute, amid the people's long live and the soldiers' heroic responses.

Ye Mao stood beside Shen Ren, looking at Shen Ren's face full of envy, and glanced at the many pale officials who accompanied the emperor on his southern tour. He joked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Shen, why should you envy this moment? After you are loyal to your king and father, you can follow the prince and fight all over the world!"

I'm afraid that by then, we will have to fight with the Ming Dynasty!

The current situation.

The attitude of the prince.

He had a hunch that this situation would be difficult to avoid.

This couldn't be avoided if the prince just compromised and gave in.

Hasn't the prince done enough in the past few years?

But what about the prince?

Even killing Chang Mao and upholding justice for the prince felt that it would damage his own interests and feathers and he was unwilling to do so.

The prince wanted to sign a series of treaties with the prince to strengthen economic and population exchanges in the future.

To achieve a mutually beneficial treaty for Yan and Ming.

Didn't the prince see that the prince wanted to negotiate?

No!

With the prince's intelligence, he must have seen it long ago.

But the prince has not mentioned it for so many days.

This time, the prince can't take the initiative to bring it up. If he does, it means another compromise and concession, and the negotiation that the prince hopes for may not be achieved.

The prince has such an attitude.

I'm afraid that even if the treaty that the prince hopes for can be negotiated.

The future is not optimistic.

Now the prince may have given up his expectations for the prince, right?

So, next, conquering Luzon, building Luzon, laying a solid internal foundation, and striving to migrate more people from the Central Plains while your majesty is here, has become a top priority.

To deal with the future economic blockade, military pressure, and even military conflict from Ming.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Ma Xiuying, "After we leave, comfort Miaoyun and tell her not to worry. The person who can make our fourth son fall has not been born yet."

Ma Xiuying glanced at Xu Miaoyun who was staring at Zhu Di not far away.

Nodding with a smile.

She understood Miaoyun's feelings very well.

At the beginning, she was always so worried when Chongba led his troops to the battle.

Besides, this battle was too important for the fourth son Yan Fan.

Not only military.

It's also about politics!

After everyone talked with their families and relatives, they followed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di to board the ship.

Zhu Di held Yongming's little hand and stood at the bow, looking at Ma Xiuying, Xu Miaoyun and thousands of people who came to see him off.

Yongming is already six or seven years old.

He is his heir.

From now on, some things need to be touched.

Ta-ta-ta...

Yu Jing walked over quickly, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang first, then turned around and asked Zhu Di, "Your Highness, everything is ready, shall we set off?"

"Yes! Blow the horn and set off!"

Woo-woo-woo...

Yu Jing took the order and left for a while, and the horn sounded first from the flagship.

Soon, the horn sounded in unison, resounding throughout the bay.

The warship formation that was still in the bay sailed out of the bay.

Outside the bay.

The merchant ships and warships that had already loaded soldiers were waiting in the formation.

After the fleet reunited.

The merchant ships were inside.

Three hundred naval warships were outside, and 1,500 large and small ships formed the largest formation in human history so far. Under the gaze of countless relatives and people, they slowly set off.

Boom-boom-boom...

The coastal defense guns began to fire blank shots.

Boom-boom-boom...

The naval warships outside the fleet formation also began to fire cannons.

Hu Weiyong and Lü Ben stood on a huge merchant ship, hearing the rumbling of cannons and seeing thousands of sails. They were originally in the process of review.

They were shocked by the shouts of "Long live the emperor" and "Martial Arts is glorious", and their pale faces became even paler at this moment.

Hu Weiyong glanced at his colleagues around him.

Except for a few people.

Everyone else was extremely embarrassed with pale faces.

I'm afraid they are all swearing at this moment. Zhu Silang will definitely fall and return in defeat, right?

A smile flashed at the corner of his lips, and he looked at the imperial ship that Zhu Biao was riding.

'The Ming Dynasty and Yan Fan will definitely have a war! '

Zhu Silang wanted to use Yan Fan's advanced technology to negotiate with the prince, and everyone could see it clearly.

But the prince remained silent and did not express his opinion!

This is the best foreshadowing of the future!

...

On Zhu Di's flagship.

Mu Ying and Lan Yu stood together, watching Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, father and son, quietly enter the cabin away from the magnificent scene outside.

They looked at each other.

Mu Ying smiled bitterly, "I have a feeling that there will be a war between our Ming Dynasty and the Yan Clan of Lao Si in the future. Didn't the Marquis of Yongchang persuade the prince?"

He has always been loyal to the prince.

Among the brothers, he has that kind of brotherly friendship with the prince.

But this time, he felt that the prince was wrong.

Lao Si wanted to use the Dongfan technology as a bargaining chip to conclude a contract with the prince about the future.

Lao Si has been compromising and giving in for several years.

Now he has completely sailed away from the Ming Dynasty.

He really can't compromise and give in anymore.

Why can't the prince compromise and take the initiative to bow his head?

Whether to sign or not, at least he can listen to the content of Lao Si's contract first, right?

But the prince didn't notice it and avoided talking about it.

"I now really understand why Lao Si is so eager to attack Luzon. His four newly formed mixed corps should have continued to train for half a year!"

Lan Yu listened silently and smiled bitterly.

How did he persuade?

Although he is the prince's brother-in-law, he is just a minister after all!

He was ignorant before and argued with His Majesty until his face turned red and his neck became thick.

But can he still do that now?

He has to consider Xiongying!

Lan Yu shook his head, "Forget it, as long as Zhu Laosi wins this battle, everyone has to take the initiative to negotiate with Zhu Laosi..."

In fact, at this time, the court was passive!

"You say, what is His Majesty talking to Zhu Laosi at this moment, is it the same as what we are talking about?"
